I was listening through headphones and heard the clear, yet subtle difference between the two. I'm so happy to have found this video, I was wondering about the real difference between them because on the website it's just a bunch of words and numbers that don't really mean a whole lot. But this was a really helpful video! Thanks for making it :)
only considerable notice for me was the song test, which the HD obviously won but as far as recording guitar they both sound very similar IMO. I'm gonna stick with my first iRig since the price is considerably higher for the HD.
Why is the polarity for one of the two stereo channels reversed in the iRig song examples (Round 3 and 4) but not in the iRigHD ones? There also seems to be more reverb on the HD example for round 4.
He did do a clean test, it seems the hd is more complex and does change the sound from guitar analogue to digital, then it is processed digitally by amplitube then it is converted to analogue. This process changes the sound. It also has a pre amp that increases the sound. It does sound better, but that is because people like how it changes the sound. But once you start adding pedals to the sound... you would want a non altered sound. But the digital HD may have less noise and hiss but at what price.
if the exact same presets were used for the nice and nasty song tests, we can see a huge difference in the balance and the body (beer term lol, sorry) of the signal. much bigger, open sounding signal. cant wait to recieve mine.
Silvio Pereira hhhmm.. Im surprised you don't hear any difference. Anyway I actually have the irig ( not hd ) and I ended up getting the Apogee Jam 96k over both the Irig and Irig HD, over the HD because it IRig HD does 24bit 48hk and the Apogee does 24bit 96k. But aside from sound quality there are other reasons I upgraded from the original Irig, The main reason for me is that when Id lay down tracks in either GarageBand, Auria or the 8 track in Amplitube, I would get bleeding from other tracks when I recorded using headphones connected to the irig. It wasnt as bad when I used the headphone output using an 8' cable with 1/4' outputs ran into a mixer, but I didnt want to always need to be plugged up to a mixer. It was even worse using the Iphone version. The bottom line is the shielding in the irig is crappy. If you thinking about getting it I recommend you Google Irig and bleeding. If its dont bother you hell, you can buy mine used, lol. But seriously, sometimes you end up spending more money trying to go the cheaper way. IMO the irig is suited for for jamming vs multitrack recording on an Ipad.
For those who cannot hear, the irig HD has a lot less noise. The irig has a very noisy signal, which makes a clean recording almost impossible to acheive, especially when using higher gain amps.
you might want to reconsider if you plan on doing any recording, especially over dubbing, I have the Irig and when I record using headphone I get bleed from other tracks when I recording guitar tracks, not so much when I run the headphone output into a mixer, plus I get more pops and clicks.
ballsackistan I think its more of a shielding issue between the actual cables in the irig. IMO the digital input is the way to go, but I ended up getting the Apogee Jam 96k over the Irig HD, it was worth another $30 to have the option to record at 24bit 96k over 24bit 48k
@Jon - no, Rifqi is right. The iRig is a better value for the money, the iRig HD is overkill for most guitar hobbyists. Listening to this video, the iRig actually sounds better.
Cheers for playing them side by side like that, crazy how few comparison vids for this actually compare the sound on the video, any chance you can do one for the irig 2/ 2HD?
I can hear differences but it isn’t consistent. The firs clean test the HD sounds fuller but during the nice song test the iRig sounds fuller. Since I can get a used iRig dirt cheap. Thank you for the nice and entertaining review. I’ll check any other vids you have
BTW Round 1 ( clean ) IMO iRig souds better .. Round 4 - I can hear echo/reverb in iRig HD part ... and no echo/reverb iRig Why HD require echo to be more attractive ? :) Overall Result: I agree ... "the winner is..... iRig" ... IMO not only for the price :)
Jarek Pilachowski i have the feeling that actually the sound is a bit diffrence but doesn't seem to be worse or something its just a bit diffrent. also round 4 has a lot more echo, maybe setting changes ? this shouldn'T come from the interface
To my ears, a very subtle difference in favour of the HD, however, the placebo created based on my expectation of the HD being better is probably influencing that decision too (also trying to look past the added reverb that obviously makes it sound nicer). Not worth the extra money imo and if you're gonna record seriously, better to just save up and buy real recording gear if you can afford it/wait long enough. Great practice and writing tool though!
I just want an irig to play some songs for personal time and church band, considering the hundred dollar difference in irig pricing for hd vs plain is it really worth getting the hd version or can I just stick with the cheaper option?
I just won an irig on the bay for $5 my main hope is that the sustain is natural and hope feedback sustain is also natural(ish) I am strictly old school with my playing..100w Marshall, tub screamer and guitar. My last foray into the world of emulation was the vAmp...not great.
I was sceptical during the first tests, actually thought the original sounded better sometimes. However during the "nice song" test it became clear that the original was really flat and lacked detail compared to the HD version. Also sounded like the original actually clipped some sounds. (Was it just me?)
Such a GREAT video. Wonder is someone is looking for alalog song and the iRig could be warmer than the HD - However, I guess you can "make" the HD sound warm with processing... Signed, New Novice Wanting to Learn
nice vid, I have the irig but i got too much noise, feedback and track bleeding using it with headphones, I was going to get the Irig Hd but ended up getting the Apogge Jam 96k because the irig hd only goes up to 48.k
Excellent comparison video. Well done. I haven't seen anyone discuss is Amplitube's noise gate pedal, which unless I'm doing someting wong, sounds horrible. Even at the lowest setting, when enabled, it immediately cuts off a huge part of the top end, making it completely unusable. Ampkit has two noise gates, both of which are far superior. I love the Fender amps in Amplitube, but if I use any gain, the noise becomes a show stopper. I'm not ready to buy the iRig HD since I just bought the original iRig. I want to get more use out of it first. Any advice on Amplitube's noise gate? Is there a better one in the shop I haven't seen?
Imo, as long as there is full latency/true bypass the difference in SQ is negligible at best (HD sounds slightly brighter overall), but more importantly what is the noise floor difference between the two? I have the standard iRig adapter and it gets noisy in high gain, does the HD remedy this at all and is it worth a whopping extra $80???
I bought the HD one so there wouldn't be any hiss and noise, but there is, Is there something wrong with it, or is there hiss on all of them through iPad and headphones?
I'll be honest I didn't hear a huge difference if your going to upgrade. Upgrade to the Hs 2 for the fact that it has output for your amp and studio monitors if you want to go that gig wise it's incredible if you don't want to carry multiple pedals just bring your iPhone plug in and play
Hi, I use Irig on my Iphone 5s with Amplitube and there is a "little sound distortion" in the iphone headphones. Is there a way to get better sound? Some people say to lower the volume of the guitar and the gain on the Amplitube. Is it work better on Ipad? Maybe the only way is to buy the HD version.....
Does the original irig cause lots of feedback with just normal overdrive? I'm not really a heavy distortion kind of guy and I don't like noise filters. Please respond.
+MsPaulieboy The iRig Original is HORRIBLE for high gain amps it feedback's out of control even with your guitar volume OFF!! Usable for clean and mid drive sounds... HORRIBLE for anything Heavy Blues and above.
i see this question is 5 months old but i noticed no one answered, you might know what app it is by now but if you dont its call Jam up pro (free) by positive grid, I recommend getting the full version
Playing sound? From the GarageBand project? This video is from 2013, but I believe I used Screen recording software to get the video and audio into my Mac to edit.
TheGarageBandGuide I’ve just bought one and my iPhone doesn’t have a headphone jack so I wondered how you got sound if your not using the usb cable into a mac
Can someone tell me if irig pro products for guitar, works with IPADPRO 2019 3rd generation because the iPad Pro (apple) has a single USB-C port ???? What kind of cable comes with the irig il,HD, HD 2,etc
Great question fooman65 - the iRig Pro is very similar to the iRig HD, but instead of a 1/4" jack input, it has a hybrid XLR input that allows you to not only connect guitars, but XLR microphones too.
the difference is amazing. How can I record the sound from the ios device on my computer with the HD version? I have the normal irig, going out on the headphoneout with a 3.5mm cable in to my interface using a3.5 to 6.5mm jack. Is it the same way on the hd version? I appreciate if someone could answer. thanks :)
The presenter asks 'what do you think' at the end of this video. Well, to be honest listening to this video through my macbook pro the iRig actually sounded better in the categories. HD didn't sound any better. What I really hate about this is that there is always a 'new version' that you 'must have' by the time you've learned to use the one you have! I hate consumer crapitalism. Think I'll just play my acoustic and fuck all this electric gadget fetishism.
Deschutes Maple iRig HD or HD 2 with the new lightning to USB 3 adapter is all you need. Studio quality response for recording, you can send the signal to an amp and use it as a real effects processor for live shows with, you can use it as a practice amp anywhere, you can hook up other devices like keyboards through it lol the iRig HD 2 is $100. It’s super cheap and really well done modulation that lets you record anything instantly. That’s not a fetish lol that’s called being an efficient musician
Deschutes Maple this wasn’t necessarily a good demonstration of it but don’t bother with the iRig or iRig HD. The HD2 will still be relevant for a long time and the effects interface aspect makes it worth the $100 alone
Only difference is the volume irig hd set upper than irig standard version.. thanks for this video, it made know the "differences".. the noise that someone note in irig standard is the pickup noise, strangely disappeared in hd version.. :)
There's a little bit of reverb on the HD during the Nasty Song test that makes it a little harder to make out the differences. My bad. Lots more background noise present in regular iRig recordings for sure, well noticed Enzo Di Michele
agreed, I had the irig and got some noisy recordings, i was going to get the Irig HD but ended up getting the Apogge Jam 96k, best $130 bucks spent on an Ipad interface
+Jon Lindsey anything above 44.1 / 16 is useless... cd standard covers the full hearing range and above. you only need those specs if you use it in the afterwork process, which you probably don't, considering you said you use it with an iPad. this way you only end up with taking up more memory when recording. I'm sorry dude you fell for the numbers, and it was 30 wasted bucks
Gábor Góczán lol.... cd standard??????? who burns cd's these days ??? I can completely understand if its useless for you, but you arent qualified to tell me what my needs are considering you have no idea what they are, yes i use it with an Ipad as well as with my MacBook Pro , I also use an Apogee duet , thanks anyways, , btw if you think 16 bit sounds as good as 24 bit you have terrible ears .... people who think they know it all usually have a lot to learn... just saying.
I was listening through headphones and heard the clear, yet subtle difference between the two. I'm so happy to have found this video, I was wondering about the real difference between them because on the website it's just a bunch of words and numbers that don't really mean a whole lot.

iRig HD is much clearer sound. How does the system sound just using the inbuilt iPad speakers?
It looks like HD version remove noise and add reverb effect
Josa Nardeb actually,if you use earphone you can hear it
Yeah I'm thinking the same
Nice test! I have both IRig and IRig HD2 amd I agree they sound different.
No worries - glad you liked it!
Why is the polarity for one of the two stereo channels reversed in the iRig song examples (Round 3 and 4) but not in the iRigHD ones? There also seems to be more reverb on the HD example for round 4.
I am so relieved! I've just ordered the HD one
Thank you, I will get upgrade to the HD Version :-)
The hd sounds like they just added reverb wtf lol
Alan Rochin i think the same hahaha
plot twist: they both had the reverb but it was only noticeable in the iRig HD
Marcelo Santos / amigo el Irig HD es mejor?
He did do a clean test, it seems the hd is more complex and does change the sound from guitar analogue to digital, then it is processed digitally by amplitube then it is converted to analogue. This process changes the sound. It also has a pre amp that increases the sound.

thanks brother...irigHD. cant wait to jam out on this
if the exact same presets were used for the nice and nasty song tests, we can see a huge difference in the balance and the body (beer term lol, sorry) of the signal. much bigger, open sounding signal. cant wait to recieve mine.
Good ears Frank Lafond .
Josa Nardeb
use studio headphones. 30$ headphones wont give you anything decent.
Josa Nardeb
I can hear the difference but Im listening thru an Avid interface and studio monitors
Using Sennheiser professional headphones here and there's no real difference. None that we should count regarding the price range of the products.
Silvio Pereira hhhmm.. Im surprised you don't hear any difference. Anyway I actually have the irig ( not hd ) and I ended up getting the Apogee Jam 96k over both the Irig and Irig HD, over the HD because it IRig HD does 24bit 48hk and the Apogee does 24bit 96k.
But aside from sound quality there are other reasons I upgraded from the original Irig,
The main reason for me is that when Id lay down tracks in either GarageBand, Auria or the 8 track in Amplitube, I would get bleeding from other tracks when I recorded using headphones connected to the irig. It wasnt as bad when I used the headphone output using an 8' cable with 1/4' outputs ran into a mixer, but I didnt want to always need to be plugged up to a mixer.

Jon Lindsey maybe because iRig thinks the microphone on your headphones is the input device?
ballsackistan

There's not a headphone socket (like on the original iRig) as it connects via the 30 pin/lightning connection.
BTW
Round 1 ( clean ) IMO iRig souds better
..
Round 4 - I can hear echo/reverb in iRig HD part ... and no echo/reverb iRig
Why HD require echo to be more attractive ? :)
Overall Result: I agree ... "the winner is..... iRig" ... IMO not only for the price :)
too bad the irig won't work on newer macbooks
Jarek Pilachowski
i have the feeling that actually the sound is a bit diffrence but doesn't seem to be worse or something its just a bit diffrent.
also round 4 has a lot more echo, maybe setting changes ? this shouldn'T come from the interface
You missed metal
Not sure Brock - it's just a generic promo shot from Ik Multimedia. Sorry!
Yeah! Winner is iRig! iRig HD with reverb and iRig without reverb sound!)
The sound from the HD sounds wider and more pleasant.
You're right Olly, it really doesn't sound anywhere near as good as the iRig HD does on a clean channel.
Hey kzpppp - thanks!
thank's for a good, no-bullshit comparison!
To my ears, a very subtle difference in favour of the HD, however, the placebo created based on my expectation of the HD being better is probably influencing that decision too (also trying to look past the added reverb that obviously makes it sound nicer). Not worth the extra money imo and if you're gonna record seriously, better to just save up and buy real recording gear if you can afford it/wait long enough. Great practice and writing tool though!
so how do we play it out loud then?
I mean,do we have to hook it up with a speaker? And how?
I just want an irig to play some songs for personal time and church band, considering the hundred dollar difference in irig pricing for hd vs plain is it really worth getting the hd version or can I just stick with the cheaper option?
vs iRig HD vs iRig 2 vs iRig Pre vs iRig Pro vs iRig iRig Pro Duo vs all iRig...
Can you test it. Which is better?
The hd sounds less buzzy much better.
24bit vs 16bit i think is main difference
I just won an irig on the bay for $5 my main hope is that the sustain is natural and hope feedback sustain is also natural(ish) I am strictly old school with my playing..100w Marshall, tub screamer and guitar. My last foray into the world of emulation was the vAmp...not great.
No Way! Nice one Fantwatstic
I agree HD is a little more full, I thought.
great comparison! thanx!

I need these but I can’t find any on amazon!!! Anything new that you recommend
What's the song playing in the background while it says Round 1, Round 2 etc? argh I know it but I can't remember it!!
I only know it as the "fight music" used in the original Star Trek TV show.
Bill Thomas Absolutely correct!
Ha. I remember it from cable guy movie. The knight fight scene
or basically how do we make the sound come out so that people could also hear it?
Great video!
The nice song test wow the irig didn't stand a chance
nice vid, I have the irig but i got too much noise, feedback and track bleeding using it with headphones, I was going to get the Irig Hd but ended up getting the Apogge Jam 96k because the irig hd only goes up to 48.k

something is wrong with phase L/R in irig
Couldn’t they just use different apps? Or maybe use actuall non iOS related recording equipment along side the irig/irigHD.?
Irig hd can be connected to usb 3 camera adapter? Instead lightning port with the idea of charging while i play?
Well, it's a recording interface, John - you could always plug your guitar directly into an amp?
I bought the HD one so there wouldn't be any hiss and noise, but there is, Is there something wrong with it, or is there hiss on all of them through iPad and headphones?
At about the 4 minute mark, is your iRig HD actually fastened to the iKlip or is it just resting on top of it?
I only use headset with microphone from Ez Voice because I love singing.
Have you had a chance to see iRig 2 and compare the 3 devices?
very good! you also auditioned the Irig HD vs Irig pro? thank you!
I'll be honest I didn't hear a huge difference if your going to upgrade. Upgrade to the Hs 2 for the fact that it has output for your amp and studio monitors if you want to go that gig wise it's incredible if you don't want to carry multiple pedals just bring your iPhone plug in and play

I'm getting the HDA. For My S5. It works with samsung professional audio. Do a video of this combo please.
I don't own any Android devices i'm afraid Michelle. :(
I there a headphone input jack on the iRig Hd? Or do we have to connect it on to the iOs device?
is irig only for electric guitar? i tried using it with acoustic guitar but it didn’t work.
IRig is one channel"mono"
And irig HD is Stereo??..With my phone's I listened those differences. ..
did the irigHD make the sound delay? i mean from guitar to amp
for iPhone or Android
I thought the HD was best in all the tests except the nasty song where I thought the stranded sounded a bit better
I just feel that the panning in the songs is different
does the iRig istill works on iphone?
does it connect to an amp?
Does the original irig cause lots of feedback with just normal overdrive? I'm not really a heavy distortion kind of guy and I don't like noise filters. Please respond.
You would definitely need a noise gate to stop feedback from rearing it's ugly head if using distortion MsPaulieboy
+MsPaulieboy The iRig Original is HORRIBLE for high gain amps it feedback's out of control even with your guitar volume OFF!!
Usable for clean and mid drive sounds... HORRIBLE for anything Heavy Blues and above.
Hi, What's that app going into Audiobus in Round 4(Nasty song test)
Thanks!
Awesome review...very helpful :D
i see this question is 5 months old but i noticed no one answered, you might know what app it is by now but if you dont its call Jam up pro (free) by positive grid, I recommend getting the full version
Can i connect Irig to PC?
no noise in HD
Vc tem um iRig não tem? Ele tem um som tão ruim assim?!
ruim? Não...tu achou caído?
Em comparação com o Hd. Se for considerar a mesma entrada de sinal nos dois pela comparação o iRig normal devora o sinal do insrtrumento.
é verdade, Kim! Mas o primeiro me pareceu mais "natural". o HD é foda na questão de nitidez. Sem discussão.
Marcelo Daguerre Kim Karvalho Grandes comentários pessoal!
HD sounds super harsh. Brittle.
What app did u use? The sound looks nice
Kresna Cahya audio looks nice? And this is literally a video about iRig, and you're asking what he's using?
Hey wanted to ask what's the stand called?? the stand that's holding your ipad?? ( 3:54)
It's called Star Platinum
How are you playing sound with no headphone jack?
Playing sound? From the GarageBand project? This video is from 2013, but I believe I used Screen recording software to get the video and audio into my Mac to edit.
TheGarageBandGuide I’ve just bought one and my iPhone doesn’t have a headphone jack so I wondered how you got sound if your not using the usb cable into a mac
Dubmonkey87 from the original iRig? My iPhone had a headphone jack at the time of recording (2013). I wouldn’t recommend one nowadays.
TheGarageBandGuide no irig hd 1. I didn’t realise when I bought it there was no headphone output on the hd box
Yes the irig HD won but is it worth the huge price difference?
¡Rig(standar) 30 dolars or 40 dolars
¡Rig HD 100 or 120 dolars
Elma Canon Moreno I can get the irig on ebay for $12. 95AUD
pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=271447354382&alt=web
+Stuart Male theres ALOT of fake irigs for that price on ebay
Does no one hear the obvious difference on the “nasty song” part? It’s like the non hd version is under water!!
Can someone tell me if irig pro products for guitar, works with IPADPRO 2019 3rd generation because the iPad Pro (apple) has a single USB-C port ????
What kind of cable comes with the irig il,HD, HD 2,etc
You'd need to use a lightning to USB-C adapter, but yes it should work.
THAT SONG ON THE END RUINED THE GOLD THAT WAS EARTH WIND AND FIRE
just saw your street figher beginning I already give you an '"Like", haha
The only difference is price
Sounds like Mono vs Stereo with Reverb
so now i'm confused, so what is the iRig pro?????
Great question fooman65 - the iRig Pro is very similar to the iRig HD, but instead of a 1/4" jack input, it has a hybrid XLR input that allows you to not only connect guitars, but XLR microphones too.
ok thanks
+TheGaragebandGuide Let's not forget that MIDI capability... to control/switch your fav sounds with your old school fav midi controler... Nice!!
Great Video!
can you tell the names of the apps around 2:25 ?
Thanks Duhan. The apps used are very old versions of Audiobus and AmpliTube
TheGarageBandGuide oh thanks a lottt
Sounds the same to me... now let is look at the price tag...
Hey, Can I use iRig, not iRig HD with macbook? thx a lot
I heard that if you have an early 2012 macbook or earlier you can use the irig... anything newer you need the HD.
the difference is amazing.
How can I record the sound from the ios device on my computer with the HD version? I have the normal irig, going out on the headphoneout with a 3.5mm cable in to my interface using a3.5 to 6.5mm jack. Is it the same way on the hd version?
I appreciate if someone could answer. thanks :)
Hey Jun Naef - You could theoretically do the same kind of thing using the HD by attaching your 3.5 > 6.5 jack to your iDevice's headphone socket?
TheGaragebandGuide K thanks but is that the best way to record your ios? I thought now there would be a more "safer" way to record.
You could use an iOS recording app (like Garageband iOS) to record your sounds?
I could. but I like to record it directly on my computer and mix it afterwards. The ios recordingsystem isn't really my thing :P
is there noticeable latency with either of these?
I haven't noticed any with either on Mac or iPad
Am I the only one who can't hear a difference?
yes
Same here
Gues ur one of the cheap suckers out there
@@RandySeverino stfu cheapy
Totally! I just hope you were not being serious posing the question
The presenter asks 'what do you think' at the end of this video. Well, to be honest listening to this video through my macbook pro the iRig actually sounded better in the categories.

Neither have aux inputs....deal breaker for me
music mn 3:00 ?
With the HD you can't charge the device while playing... ;)
Very true Vitor Isaia . It's definitely a bit annoying...
bummer. how long does the charge usually last?
By device, you mean your phone? And why wouldn’t you be able to charge at the same time?
yes irig HD sounds more realistic, but the price is twice. so price\performance irig won! and for quality irig HD won! the diference is in your pocket
Quase a mesma coisa. Não muda muito
Only difference is the volume irig hd set upper than irig standard version.. thanks for this video, it made know the "differences".. the noise that someone note in irig standard is the pickup noise, strangely disappeared in hd version.. :)
There's a little bit of reverb on the HD during the Nasty Song test that makes it a little harder to make out the differences. My bad.
Lots more background noise present in regular iRig recordings for sure, well noticed Enzo Di Michele

I'm sorry dude you fell for the numbers, and it was 30 wasted bucks

lol.... cd standard??????? who burns cd's these days ??? I can completely understand if its useless for you, but you arent qualified to tell me what my needs are considering you have no idea what they are, yes i use it with an Ipad as well as with my MacBook Pro , I also use an Apogee duet , thanks anyways, , btw if you think 16 bit sounds as good as 24 bit you have terrible ears .... people who think they know it all usually have a lot to learn... just saying.
John cafferty for the win
Honestly listen to the nasty song test and tell me they weren’t played different with the screech or whatever u call it ??
It’s feedback.
You got be kidding me
Guitarists can hear the difference
I can't really hear a difference?
Try listening through headphones!
TheGaragebandGuide I heard a lot of a difference. But with the iRig HD you can't charge the device while playing, right?
stick to irig if u poor like me , irig 2 n irig hd cost a damn lot
